Red face I would like to think it is that way, but I know better.

Since many officials (especially where a shot clock is used) tell the players in the pre-game conference to "play the whistle, not the horn," a whistle to signal the end of a period is a good idea, IMHO.
Do you tell the players you will call handchecking and "play the game with their feet" too?

As you stated, the ball remains live if a try for goal has been released so there may be more confusion if the horn goes off during the try and no whistle is blown to signify when the quarter really ended.

Hasn't happen to me. But things that seem to happen to you, are major concerns in your life. But then again, they know how to play basketball where I am.
